I've created a Catalog using a part family which generated all my design table configurations as parts in the catalog. When I go to use the part in an assembly it comes up as a new instance, and therefore doesn't associate itself anylonger to the catalog part.

I want to use these parts as standard components, but if something changes I need it to change in all my assemblies. In otherwords, if the catalog part changes, I want it to remain linked and update on the assembly's next open. Creating a new part/instance doesn't work for me.

Does anyone know if there is an setting I can change or am I outta luck?

Thanks in advance,
